One of the Oregon members car was stolen several months ago. During recovery the tow truck driver managed to scratch his car a good bit. In addition to the scratches there were some heavy swirls as all BB's do. Our goal was to decrease the amount and intensity of the swirls. This is his DD so removing all trace of swirls was not a goal.

The owner of the car is SickShift. He and I worked on the car for about 6.5 hours. Please add a W&W badge to his sig.

What was done:
Washed
Clayed
Wet sanded a few filled in scratched
Polished with Power Gloss on orange pad on the Flex
Second pass was Super Finish on the blue pad on the Flex
We applied a layer of Mcguires glaze with gray pad on the Flex
We finished it all off with a layer of Liquid Glass by hand.

Before pics
This is representative of the condition of the car - the HT is only a couple of months old so the swirls were not as bad.







During
This is half and half on the trunk. This area was especially bad due to the tow truck driver putting lights here causing some heavy swirling.






Completed:
The same rear panel after we have polished. Notice the improvement.



As we finished the sun was leaving us. We moved the car outside to snap a few images of the car.

 

Very nice! Throw some tire shine on it and it'll be golden! I love how black always looks like a mirror. It never fails.

 

We both said that when taking the pics, but I did not take any with me.

 

It still turned out looking great. Did you use a rotary or a DA?

 

Flex.

 

Looks nice glad to see they got the car back. Black is always so hard to keep looking fresh but once its done right it looks sick

 

Very nice restoration! Congrats on getting it back!

 

I must have missed the flex part. Oops. I just went back and re-read. I was so into the pictures I skipped the goodies haha.

 

No prob. It happens to all of us.

 

The Flex has both DA polishers and Rotaries. The car looks awesome!
